Just roll back to 566.36 and don’t upgrade unless there is a real security vulnerability that they patch with a new driver. Then reevaluate. If you’re on a 50xx gpu, well then sucks to be you I guess


Lemme know your thoughts. I see how it has merit and is possible but yeah, it totally kills the vibe. Maybe it was something the devs put in but ultimately abandoned, but kinda didn’t scrub it all out prior to release.

There’s audio logs in theta of someone trying to reach carthage for instructions. It’s obvious. What’s unclear is if she’s doing it out psychosis or actually knows they’re still around.


Idk how much you dove into the lore, but have you ever read about the Carthage theory? There were some hints that Cathage Industries (who owned Pathos 2) were still around (they had other underwater facilities) and responsible for creating Simon and were monitoring the situation, sort of like Resident Evil Umbrella Corp style. Personally I’m not a huge fan of that theory as it takes away from the mood of the game, but it’s interesting and has a lot of merit.


Yea. It was really well done. I think it could totally be a TV show or a game. Idk if you feel this way but literally no game or movie or anything has ever made me feel as fucked up (in a good way) as SOMA did the first time I played it. I mean horror, philosophy, anger, sadness, denial. It had it all. I even made the same mistake that Simon makes where I totally didn’t want to believe that he would never really make it to the Ark (because copy paste, not cut paste.) It was just so good. Omg also the part where the guy is talking about killing yourself right after getting the scan…to obtain “continuity.” Absolutely crazy, even if the theory doesn’t make sense lol. I can see how in a moment of desperation that it could make sense to you.


You mean the live action web series? Yea I don’t understand how that series had better visuals than many blockbuster scifi movies rofl. It was extremely well done.


Is this serious? Doom was sci-fi. Now it’s fantasy. The new game has you riding a dragon for Christ’s sake. What don’t you understand?


What even is Doom anymore? It used to be a marine shooting demons on mars with a shotgun. Now it’s some mythological fantastical fever dream bullshit where you ride dragons and execute perfectly timed combos against alien God things. It might be fun but it’s certainly NOT Doom anymore.


GOG is fucked. As soon as services like this start talking about subscriptions, it’s already over.




I’m confused. Digital foundry clearly spells out the performance you will get with both FG and without. They’re not harsh on it at all?


Don’t pay attention to idiots who don’t know what they’re talking about. Lemmy and Reddit are full of tech misinformation. It’s not even worth replying to.



Your looking at it in Canadian. I’m looking at usd. So we’re saying the same thing, just different currencies lol. Woops.


What boxes? The 1k pack comes with two base stations. You mean if you want to add 2 more? Then yea, fair.


Huh? It’s $1K, not $1.5K. still expensive though for outdated as shit hardware.


I don’t even need to read the article to know that this post is sensationalized as fuck. People really need to stop upvoting garbage. Please post better content people. Do we really want Lemmy to be full of shitposts articles like this?


Why do people even get excited about games before they release and are reviewed? I suggest not paying attention to any “gaming news” until a game is out and reviews are posted. Why waste your time otherwise? Same with tech. Just don’t pay attention until something is released and reviewed. Your time is better spent elsewhere on real tangible things.


Everything I read says that this game is dogshit. Just goes to show how fucking useless “video game awards” are.



Far Cry 1 is the best one! It was made by crytek, the same studio that did Crysis. I still occasionally go back to replay that game. It’s really fun.




Oh i misunderstood. Yea in that case i agree. Also that game did not have good RT.



I’ve never seen a game where RT doesn’t work without DLSS. Do you have examples?


It heavily heavily HEAVILY depends on the game wherher RT looks better. Making a blanket statement saying it gives little visual gain is absolutely a false statement. Do some games have shit RT? Yea. Definitely. Do a lot of games have really good RT? Yes. Cyberpunk, Alan Wake 2, Control, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, etc.


What is the matter with you RT haters? It’s a graphical feature that greatly improves the realism of graphics but comes at a performance cost, often large. But if you have the hardware, then you can run it fine. And upscaling helps. What the actual fuck is the problem here? How is this different than any other fancy new graphic tech that has come out? It’s like people lose their minds when devs try to push the boundaries with graphics that require high end hardware to max out. Like no shit. Would you rather devs just make every game with crappy graphics forever? You don’t want them to try to make stuff look better? I just don’t get the hate.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.


Oh I think the double sarcasm was missed in your previous, comment. My bad man. It sounded like you were making fun of people who play old games on high-end PCs.



I’m not sure I could possibly be less interested in any game than I am with a wonderwoman game.



Haha awesome! Actually i was referring to the original trilogy being terrible to mod. I’m not sure about the legendary edition.


To be fair, Mass Effect has one of the most convoluted modding processes and dogshit communities of all time. Other games are easier lol.


Yea because framegen was terrible when it first came out


Cyberpunk is night and day with and without ray tracing. And in motion is the best way to see a lot of the effects. I’m not sure what to say. The difference is so obvious to me, especially after the path tracing updates.


You’re either not arguing in good faith or grossly misunderstanding why RT results in more realistic lighting. I suggest you read up on RT, how it works, and what it is supposed to be simulating.


Lol wut? No it’s not. That’s a ridiculous thing to say. Properly implemented RT is gorgeous and worlds ahead of rasterized lighting. Sure, some games have shit RT, but RT in general is not a money grab. That’s a dumb thing to say


Dlss and RT are great… But this Gen definitely sucks. Just get a 4080 (if they’re cheaper)


Yes it downloads the whole game. But you’re overwriting the old one. Hence no significant shift in disk space used.
